Introduced in 1948, the 356 was Porsche's first production car. Available in either coupé or open sports versions, the 356 was a lightweight rear engined, rear wheel drive sports car with fine handling characteristics. Production continued until 1965. It became a popular car for converting for racing and rallying and enjoyed much success through the years in many famous racing events. As a Porsche 356 SC, it is the top of the range model in the 356's final incarnation; with disc brakes all round and the 95bhp version of the 1600cc push-rod engine. This delightful Porsche is finished in silver with black interior and is best described as being a lovely genuine example.

The interior appears to be completely original, the engine runs well with no adverse noises and we are advised she drives with no known faults. Add in the positive and precise gear change, the superb steering and the result is a real driver’s car. Supplied with a V5C registration document this is a genuine UK supplied right hand drive Porsche 356 SC coupé; this extremely stylish example can be defined as an automotive masterpiece, offering beauty, presence and practicality all in one.
